FOOTNOTES:
[1] This is what Trotzky called the sailors of the Baltic Fleet after
they had murdered their officers.--Translator’s Note.
[2] Cf. Ludendorff’s “War Memories”, Vol. II., page 658. “We could have
deposed the Soviet Government, which was thoroughly hostile to us,
and given help to other authorities in Russia which were not working
against us, but indeed anxious to coöoperate with us. This would have
been a success of great importance to the general conduct of the war.
If some other Government were established in Russia, it would almost
certainly have been possible to come to some compromise with it over
the Peace of Brest.”

“From October, 1917, onwards, Bolshevism in Russia obtained an even
firmer hold.
